Houston Astros History

2017: 5th Place in AL West (20-142)
In a year where the MLB Astros won the 2017 World Series, the FGM Astros continued with their rebuilding efforts.

2016: 5th Place In AL West (22-134)

2015: 4th Place in AL West (26-64)

2014: 4th Place in AL West (56-85)

2013: 4th Place in AL West (72-69)

2012: 2nd Place in NL Central (95-65)

2011: 4th in NL Central (77-85)
The Astros struggled to score wins in the toughest division in MLB.  Kent the GM continued to rely on veteran talent to keep Houston competitive and shaped the team to do the same in 2012.  The team would need to rely on Adrian Beltre, Michael Bourn, Jason Kubel, John Lackey, Brett Myers, Hunter Pence, Wandy Rodriguez, and Yadier Molina.  A lot is riding on these veterans to help the team win in 2012.

2010: 2nd in NL Central (88-74), NL Wildcard
Kent Puett took over as GM of the Astros late in October, 2009.  He quickly made moves by dealing for prospects and signing players to extensions.  In free agency, veterans Jim Thome and Jose Valverde signed with the Astros as the team looks to compete in the NL Central with plenty of experience.  The Stros became the surprise team of the year by staying at 0.500 in the first half and picking up more wins in the 2nd half.  They stole the playoff spot from the Cardinals and Reds of the NL Central.  The team lost to the Dodgers in the ALDS.

2009: 3rd in NL Central (77-85)
The Astros started in Franchise GM without a GM for five weeks.  The original roster was based on a minimal (no options) version of the real life 40-man roster.  So when Scott Armand became the new GM of the franchise, there was much work to be done, and he was way behind compared to other teams.  Needless to say, at the time, the Astros were leading the NL Central and there was time for hope.  By the time the season ended, the team fell out of contention and the franchise was looking for new management.
